I asked, what do I do with this blog? What do I say on it?
He answered, “Just put up one of your paintings each week and talk about it… people want to here what you have to say.” Do they??
Okay, I will talk about the paintings… let’s just see.
"On the Edge" 60" x 48"
This is an original work on canvas that has been created using acrylic paint. The collage that I apply to the surface of the work gives me texture, and color options to work with. Structure and balance of the elements is important – I want to see energy and excitement, as well as harmony.

I’d also be interested in what inspires you to choose colors each time. I love these colors. The blue is special in this one. Is it cobalt? I think cobalt has special power to affect the emotions.
What do you think about while you paint? Or are you transfixed by the process? Do you daydream? If so, does it affect the painting?
When you say collage, do you mean you apply objects like paper to the canvas before you paint?
I bet a lot of people would be interested in what goes through your mind in the studio. As I’ve said before, your work has an emotional impact. I’m curious if that comes from you indirectly or if you are purely working in the abstract?
